Whether you're planning a special event such as a wedding or just need a lift to the airport, renting a vehicle or hiring a taxi or transportation service can be the right move. But first, do your homework.

If you don't plan to drive your car to your new residence, you'll need a vehicle-moving company. There are several ways to transport your car like hiring a driver or professional auto moving service, or shipping by freight.

Check your owner's manual, making sure to look up the exact model you have. May also show on the nameplate - usually on driver's side door or door jamb. Read up on passenger/cargo effect too, because the "rated" capacity is with no cargo and only a normal (I think they use 150#) driver.

Quick web search showed rated from 1500-4000# towing capacity and tongue weights from 150-400# depending on model and if has towing package - so you would have to check tongue weight and total trailer weight, but a 700# travel trailer (assuming that is total weight, not empty) certainly is likely to be viable. What it can handle safely also depends on what else in in the vehicle and where it is located with respect to the rear axle - so if all the seats are filled with adults for instance, your towing capacity may go to zero.

My recommendation, especially if travelling at highway speeds or long distance, is never exceed 75% or rated trailer load. Also - read up on tongue weight and what it does for handling and vehicle steering ability, so you get it right - too much and you risk tralier hitch failure, rear tire overloading, and poor steering because too much weight is off the front end. Too little and the trailer will tend to "hunt" - swerve back and forth.

I got exactly what i expected.
Guy was great and easy to talk to as well as his partner. I needed a car brought from GA to FL. The dealer i was working with was not getting the paper work in a timely manner. Guy was understanding and moved the date back a day. I was still able to get my car home in time.
The driver was great as well. He ...More answered my text messages in a timely manner and even updated me on arrival time. I let him know i lived on a dead end and would be best if he park on the corner. We decided that a local plaza parking lot would be best for him.
He was professional enough to drive the car to my house as i had no transportation to meet him. I drove him back and went thru all the details of the drop off.
Would certainly use this company again.”

I have used

for over 15 years. The service is unmatched. The drivers always arrive at least 10 mins early to ensure timeliness. We always feel safe and respected by the courteous drivers. Particularly as a woman often traveling alone or with my daughter, I prefer to use a driver that I know and with whom I feel very comfortable. ...More The price is competitive w taxis or

type services but I can prearrange my pickup time and size of vehicle if necessary. Not only for airport transport, Diplomat has assisted me taking a sick parent to doctor appointments as well as escorting a group of friends for a night on the town. Although I try to give them notice of a pickup, they have always come through even at the last minute when I needed a ride.

Thank you Diplomat!”

Overall, my contact at

was responsive and helpful. The issue I had was more with the driver contracted to deliver my vehicles across the country. Full disclosure, the contracted driver was Alaskan Transport based out of Victorville, Ca. Some issues arose with first meeting us at our original location for picking up our vehicles. ...More The driver called the day before pick up to ask if we could meet at a different location than our home address. Reluctantly, we agreed to meet at a nearby Lowe's where he said there would be more room for loading the vehicles onto the trailer. The next day he did not meet us at this agreed upon location instead going closer to the original location and stopping in a church parking lot. When delivering our vehicles in California he chose to do it on a busy street instead of our preferred delivery address. This made it difficult to inspect our cars for any damage. Additionally he insisted that he get paid in cash which he said he told me before hand, he did not and I was prepared to pay him with a cashier's check. His insistence caused me to run around to multiple banks to access enough cash to pay him. He then hastily unloaded our cars and wanted us to sign off on everything so he could get on his way. Everything seemed fine with our vehicles until my wife noticed that her passenger side rear view mirror was loose. By this time we had already signed off on the delivery and the driver was gone. Chalk it up to our inexperience with doing a cross country move and dealing with contracted drivers. In the end we were just happy to have our cars. I would recommend EAS as the broker but avoid Alaskan Transport if possible as the contracted driver. ”

BEWARE, THIS COMPANY IS A RIPOFF. Paid $125 deposit for a total quote of $600 to transport car from MO to GA. Scheduled pickup for 6/16 to 6/19. As of 6/20, the driver never showed up. No phone call, email nothing. The company just blew us off. don't bother trying to call them. You will only get a voice mail which they never return. Try ...More it for yourself 877-597-6373. Their website is total BS. They guarantee 24/7 service but that never happens. I can't understand how this company is still in business.
Still fighting to get my deposit back. Bastards.
BUYER BEWARE, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

BEWARE SIGNING THEIR CONTRACT, IT SAYS DEPOSIT NOT REFUNDABLE.

The move of my car went very smoothly. Chips picked up my car exactly when they said they would. The car was delivered to me exactly when I wanted it to be delivered. Throughout the process, I found the staff at Chips to be very responsive and professional.
It took my a long time to find a reliable car transport company, and have some advice: ...More If at all possible, use a company that has a terminal facility located in your community. This way, you will not be at the mercy of a car transport driver's schedule. Instead of scheduling pickup by a huge car transporter, the company will send a small flatbed truck directly from its facility. Because the terminal is located nearby, you will be able to specify an exact day for pickup. This is much better than the 3-day or 5-day ranges other companies will give you. You will even be given the option of dropping off the car at the terminal yourself, if this is something you prefer doing.
